IPL 2026: Mother Sold Her Jewellery To Fund Sons Dream, The Story Of Sakib Hussain

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Rising Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer Sakib Hussain has captured attention not just for his impressive IPL debut, but for a journey defined by hardship, perseverance, and sacrifice, a story that resurfaced after an old video from his stint with Kolkata Knight Riders went viral. Coming from a modest background in Bihars Gopalganj district, Sakibs early days in cricket were shaped by financial constraints, with even basic equipment out of reach. Shoes are very expensive. Proper bowling spikes cost around Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000. If we spend that much on shoes, then what will we eat? he said in a now-viral video. His mother recalled the emotional toll of those moments and the sacrifices the family made to support his ambition. He started crying, saying, Mummy, I dont have shoes, how will I play? We didnt have that kind of money. I had to sell my jewellery to somehow get him those shoes, she said. Despite limited means, Sakibs rise in cricket was steady. He initially served as a net bowler for Chennai Super Kings before being picked up by KKR ahead of the 2024 season. However, he did not feature in a match over two seasons with the franchise. Reflecting on his roots, Sakib highlighted the responsibilities he took on early in life due to his familys circumstances. Im from Bihar, and my district, Gopalganj, is about 125 km from Patna. Back home, we dont really have much. We are farmers. My father used to do farming, but then he developed a knee problem, so I told him he shouldnt continue anymore, he said. His father echoed the family's struggles during that period. Now I am the one who has to earn for the family. If I were ill, even arranging a single meal became something we had to think about, he said. Sakibs introduction to cricket came through local encouragement rather than structured training. There is a ground near us, so he used to go early in the morning for running. Some local coaches noticed him and told him to try cricket, his father added. He began with tennis-ball cricket, often travelling long distances to earn small match fees, which further strengthened his resolve. I used to play tennis-ball cricket, earning Rs 500, 600, 700, and sometimes even Rs 2,000 if I travelled about 150 km to play. From that point, I made up my mind that I had to pursue cricket, Sakib said. His performances soon began to reflect his potential. He made his T20 debut for Bihar in the 202223 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and impressed early, claiming 4/20 in just his second appearance at the age of 17. He later registered a five-wicket haul in the 202526 Ranji Trophy, returning figures of 6/41 against Arunachal Pradesh. The performances caught the attention of IPL scouts, and at the 2026 auction, Sunrisers Hyderabad secured his services for Rs 30 lakh. His performances soon began to reflect his potential. He made his T20 debut for Bihar in the 202223 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and impressed early, claiming 4/20 in just his second appearance at the age of 17.

Nitish likely to step down as Bihar CM on Tuesday, make way for first-ever BJP-led govt in state

Patna, Apr 14: Bihar finds itself on the cusp of a new political epoch on Tuesday when Nitish Kumar, the states longest-serving chief minister, is slated to make way for the first-ever BJP-led government in the province. Kumar, who heads the JD(U) and became a Rajya Sabha MP last week, is expected to tender his resignation shortly after the last meeting of his cabinet, which is scheduled at 11 am. It is a constitutional requirement. The chief minister informs his colleagues about his decision to dissolve the cabinet before meeting the governor, said Dilip Jaiswal, a senior BJP leader who is also a minister in the outgoing government. The BJP, which is the single largest party in the 243-strong assembly, with 89 MLAs, will thereafter elect its legislature party leader. The meeting of the legislature party is scheduled to be held at the BJP office here around 3 pm. Union minister Shivraj Singh Choudhan, whom the BJP parliamentary board has named central observer for the legislature party leaders election, is expected to fly down for the purpose. The 202-strong NDA also includes 85 MLAs of the JD(U), besides 19 of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) and five of the Hindustani Awam Morcha, headed by Union ministers Chirag Paswan and Jitan Ram Manjhi, respectively. In addition, there are five MLAs of Rashtriya Lok Morcha, led by Rajya Sabha MP Upendra Kushwaha. All the NDA legislators are scheduled to meet at the Central Hall of the state assembly at 4 pm. After a formal declaration of support from all constituents, the governor would be approached for the formation of a new government. Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, a former state BJP president who holds the Home portfolio in the outgoing government, is being seen as a front-runner among those whose names are doing the rounds for the top job. However, BJP insiders admit that the possibility of a surprise, at the instance of the partys central leadership, as was recently seen in Rajasthan, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh, could not be ruled out. Meanwhile, JD(U) leaders, who are trying to come to terms with the imminent loss of political clout, hope that despite stepping down as chief minister, Kumar will continue to pull some strings. Nitish Kumar ji will spend most of his time in Bihar. He will be in Delhi only while the Parliament session is on. The new government will be formed with his consent, and it will work under his guidance, said JD(U) leader Zama Khan, the minister for minority affairs in the outgoing state government. He also said that the party hoped that Kumars only son Nishant, who had joined the JD(U) a month ago, would be considered for an important role in the new government.
